X developed by Dennis Austin and Thomas Rudkin of Forethought, Inc. In 1987, it was renamed to X due to problems with trademarks, the idea for the name coming from Robert Gaskins.

2X is an uninterested unemployed middle aged male who can

apparently weave adventures almost at the drop of a hat. X adventures cover themes ranging from crime, human ingenuity, science, history, geography, metaphysics and philosophy. It is obvious that while X himself has not been involved in any of the adventures he claims to have taken part in, he is certainly a learned man with an exceptional gift for storytelling. The stories are notably accurate from a scientific point of view. X may be seen as Y's parody or caricature of the Bengali urban middle class celibate intellectual, who is at home in the world of books and knowledge,the older X although not abhorring the opposite sex, is not entirely at ease with them either. He stays at an all-male hostel and maintains an almost frugal existence. X is a self-educated person and his education is mostly due to time spent at the local libraries. In a way, it could be argued that these stories also reflect larger patterns of social transformations.Id X?

famous Chola bronzes and sculptures of Chidambaram. The dance of X in Tillai, the traditional name for Chidambaram, forms the motif for all the depictions of X as Y.

The form is present in most X temples in South India, and is the prime deity in the famous Thillai Y Temple at Chidambaram.
